It is important to keep the kids attention. If you’re teaching younger kids keep in mind that they need to be entertained constantly to keep them interested due to a short attention span. You can teach them by using creative methods like the following, turn lessons into songs for example teach tenses by creating a catchy jingle, you can also make use of visual diagrams to illustrate new vocabulary. You can also make use of mnemonic devices to aid in memorising grammer. For older kids it is important to build a relationship with them, this wil create a feeling of respect from student to teacher. Make use of topics that interest them and finally work choice into your lessons, this will make learners want to be more proactive. :)

Hi Karabo, my opinion, humble I might add, is that you review you intro video, thumbnail and photo, if all okay, then practice as much patience as possible.
- Your students informs you that they want lessons in this or that.
When lessons start and you have done an assessment of student levels, the picture is vastly different, what do you do?

Many students' perceived ability to speak English differs greatly from their actual ability. It is an English teacher's job to tell you them how good (or bad) their English is, and to draw up a plan to help them improve. If you are a native English speaker and qualified teacher, you are in a far better position to judge than they are, after all they are the ones who have signed up to learn the language. A student cannot just cherry pick what they want to learn. Learning a language is about learning and using all aspects of the language. So the long and the short of it is, be honest, polite and firm with a student who thinks they can choose to learn some aspects of English over others.

- Flipping the classroom
Does anyone know this method of teaching, if so can you explain it?

Flipping also known as inverting the classroom is a pedagogy-first approach to teaching, in which course materials are introduced outside of class & in class time is repurposed for inquiry, application and assessment in order to better meet the needs of individual learners.
